Automarker Socket Error

This is a known problem in StyleCAD 4.5 and 5.0. There are two possible reasons for this error:

1. TCP/IP might not be set up properly. The dedicated Automarker is able to receive an automarking job over the local network via Sockets, and in order to do that the computer must be set up with TCP/IP protocol.

First, right click on the Network Neighborhood icon on your desktop and select "Properties".

Then, right click on Local Area Connection and select "Properties".

Then, left click on Internet Protcol (TCP/IP) and select "Properties".

Finally, enter your DNS settings, as well as your IP settings (ask your system administrator for information on what numbers to enter here).

2. The port number used by the Automarker server could already be used by another application. To fix this, the user must open the Automarker50.INI file in WinNT or Windows (for XP) and enter the following by using a text editor.

[Server Configuration]
AUTOMARKING_SERVER_PORT=3707

If 3707 does not work either, keep incrementing the number and retry.

You may need to reboot your computer for these settings to take effect.
